Out of the many repost of this story since Friday this is most wild claim I've seen. It's on r/Canada level of ignorance.

The authors of the study by the non-partisan Fraser Institute

I've also never seen something with that many citation on Wikipedia.

The Fraser Institute is a libertarian-conservative Canadian public policy think tank and registered charity.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

Of course they're registered as charity... so they can avoid paying tax...

What do they give to the community of there a charity?

It seems they missed the air-quotes around "non-partisan". So easy; see?
